Can't get any closer to the IL/WI stateline than my place. I own part of the state line almost due south of Madison and Broadhead, and straight north of Durand IL--Where the deer and the antelope play! I see where the WI pheasant season opened last Saturday; Any birds around your neck of the woods?
By the way, my "statistics" are just arithmetic crunches of your raw data, with no spin on condition or originality, or even seperating hammer guns from hammerless. Parkers exceeded the Foxes on the average, but a Fox sold for more than the highest Parker. In the final analysis, every gun stands on its own merits. I thought the $850 "entry level" Trojan 12-bore I bought for my son was a good deal; he'll enjoy owning and shooting the gun and will more than likely sell it for more someday. I noticed others on this thread talking up $200 guns while using $1,000 worth of computer and $50 per month Internet service. I guess it's all a matter of priorities. EDM
